Who ever heard, of Dakotaisn being
selected for an outside place. We may
consider ourselves very fortunate when
citizens of Dakota are chosen for the
federal places within the limits Of our
commonwealth. No, Judge Trip will
not be appointed. Dakota's day hasn't
yet come-bnt it's coming.
Things that are always coming are ol
no material benefit. We weary OF living
forever in the future. But, as the Press
intimates, it is hardly probable that

Fripp would take the place.

|R.eisnst,ons or supefint Con-
struction Burgwyn-Prsgress Of WORK.
C. p. E. Burgwyn, superintendent OF
the construction OF the new City Hall,
handed In his resignation to the Commit.
tee on Grounds and Buildings several
weeks ago. Mr. Burgwyn found this
course necessary on account OF the press
of other duties which require his exclu-
sive attention For, besides filling this
position, Mr.. Burgwyn is also the engi-
neer Of the James river improvement and
instructor of higher mathematics and
mathematical drawing at the Mechanics
Institute. Finding all Of these duties
combined too arduous and, in fact, dan
gerous to his health, Mr.. Burgwyn de-
cided to give up his municipal position
and bestow his undivided attention upon
these two latter works. II liz to be deeply
regretted that Mr.. Burgwyn has taken
this step, as, being familiar with all the
details Of the new hall, his services are
nearly invaluable.
City Engineer Cutshaw has recon-
mended Mr.. Reuben Shineffs to fill the
position left vacant by the resignation OF
Mr. Burgwyn, and the Committee on
Grounds and Buildings have confirmed
the appointment. Mr. Shineffs is an en-
gineer Of well-known ability, having been
for several years engineer in charge OF
the water power Of the Richmond and AL
leghany Railroad Company. No more
competent man to fill the position could
have been found in our midst, and Nr.
Burgwvns mantle will certainly fall
upon the shoulders of one who in every
particular is peculiarly fitted to super
sede him. Mr.. Shineffs will enter upon
the discharge of his duties March 1st.
The masons were at work yesterday for
the first time this season, and should
the weather continue propitious, the work
will soon be far enough advanced so as
to allow the setting of the windowsills
and doors for the basement floor. Unless
something unforeseen occurs to prevent,
an immense amount of work will GER
tainly be done on the building within the
next nine months, all badihage and joking
to the contrary Notwithstanding.

WEATHER-WISE.
After the Clouds. Sunshine.

Last Wednesday was a very damp and
dreary day. About noon the clouds that
had for several days lowered DER our
housetops" opened, and until after mid
night the rain pitilessly descended upon
the just and the unjust"
Thursday was day of alternate sun
shine and shadow.
Yesterday old Sol came out in all his
glory, and the weather was balmy and
spring -like-hardly cold enough for Feb
ruary, but yet an agreeable change from
the day that had preceded it.
To-day the sun rises at 6:46, and sets at
630; the moon sets at 9:2G; the day.
length is eleven hours and fifteen min
utes.
Among the noted events it is the day
on which in 1915 the great Napoleon
purged the little Island of Elba, and be-
gan his triumphal march to Paris. He
had been under a cloud since the battle
of Leipsic, but his 8unburst did not long
continue. On the fateful field of Water
loo, conquered by an unholy alliance of a
world in arms, the star of the man of des-
tiny set forever
Various enterprises and branches Of
business have been lately under cloud
in Richmond; let us hope that when the
springtime comes and the robins nest
again that there will be general revival
in all trades and occupations, and that
this may be the most prosperous year in
our history. With the return of spring
and its ethereal mildness, it is understood
that the hand-Organ man, the roller
skater, the base-ballist, and the lightning
rod man are barred out. 1t is the mem
ory of such nuisances as makes one wish
for perpetual SHOWS, and which makes
calamity of long life
But come December or fair May,
In leaden skies or bright;
Teach us resignedly to say,
whatever is is right

.Partners in Crime" in Court.

1t is but natural that partners ia crime
should get into court. This paragraph is
written about the play of that name,
which was produced at the Academy last
week.
Milton Goldsmith the author of the
play has filed bill against Edwin Han
ford, Daniel j. Campbell, and Daniel A.
Kelly, lessee Of Front-street Theatre, Bal
timore, asking for an injunction and re-
ceiver for the play The bill states that
Goldsmith and Hanford entered into a
contract by which Goldsmith was to adj
vance the money for salaries and all
other expenses for the production of the
play and Hanford was to play the star
part, and the profits was TO be divided
equally between them after the money
advanced by Goldsmith was repaid.
The bill charges that on February II,
1887, at Richmond, Hanford refused to
allow Goldsmith to take the receipts and
constituted himself manager, contracting
with Manager Kelly to produce the play
in Baltimore, and refusing to recognize
Goldsmith's rights.
The author claims that the play is worth
81 900, and that Hartford owes him 81 200
A hearing was fixed for to-day.
